重要的物体--比如冥王星的卫星--也逃过了人们的注意力。在这方面，绝不只是冥王星。在"旅行者"号探险之前，人们以为海王星只有两颗卫星，"旅行者"号又发现了6颗。在我小时候，人们以为太阳系只有30颗卫星。现在的卫星总数至少已经达到90颗，其中起码三分之一是在刚刚过去的10年里发现的。 在考虑整个宇宙的时候，你当然需要记住，我们其实还不知道我们太阳系的家底。 　　现在，当我们飞越冥王星的时候，你会注意到另一件事：我们在飞越冥王星。要是你查一查旅行计划，你会明白这次旅行的目的地是我们太阳系的边缘，我们恐怕还没有到达。冥王星也许是标在教室挂图上的最后一个物体，但太阳系并不到此为止。实际上，离终点还远着呢。要到达太阳系的边缘，我们非得穿过奥尔特云，那是个彗星飘游的茫茫天际。而我们--我为此感到很遗憾--还要再花1万年时间才能抵达奥尔特云。冥王星远不是太阳系外缘的标志，就像教室里的挂图上随便暗示的那样，它仅仅是在五万分之一路程的地方。 这篇材料你能听出多少？点击这里做听写，提高外语水平>>

知道该山的真正密度，因此不可能得出一个真正确切的数字。为了方便起见，赫顿假设这座山的密度与普通石头相等，即大约是水的密度的2.5倍，但这不过是根据经验所作的估计。 　　有一个人把注意力转向这个问题。他是个乡下牧师，名叫约翰•米歇尔，家住约克郡人迹稀少的桑希尔村。尽管环境偏僻而简陋，米歇尔却是18世纪一位伟大的科学思想家，深受人们的尊敬。 　　尤其是，他认识到地震的波动性质，对磁场和引力进行了大量创造性的研究，比任何人都早200年设想过黑洞的存在，这是相当了不起的--连牛顿都跨不出这么一大步。当德国出生的音乐家威廉•赫歇尔认为自己生活中的真正兴趣是天文学的时候，他就是向米歇尔讨教了天文望远镜的制作方法。自那以来，行星科学界一直对他怀有感激之情。 这篇材料你能听出多少？点击这里做听写，提高外语水平>>

Once Mrs. Buckland found herself being shaken awake in the middle of the night, her husband crying in excitement: “My dear, I believe that Cheirotherium's footsteps are undoubtedly testudinal.” [---2---] Mrs. Buckland made a flour paste, which she spread across the table, while the Reverend Buckland fetched the family tortoise. Plunking it onto the paste, they goaded it forward and discovered to their delight that its [-3-] did indeed match those of the fossil Buckland had been studying. Charles Darwin thought Buckland a buffoon—[-4-]—but Lyell appeared to find him inspiring and liked him well enough to go touring with him in Scotland in 1824. [---5---] Lyell was extremely shortsighted and went through most of his life with a pained squint, which gave him a troubled air. (Eventually he would lose his sight altogether.) His other slight peculiarity was the habit, when [-6-] by thought, of taking up improbable positions on furniture—lying across two chairs at once or "[-7-]" (to quote his friend Darwin).

说是很不幸的。开尔文是19世纪的--也是任何世纪的--最杰出的人物之一。德国科学家赫尔曼•冯•亥姆霍茨--他本人也是科学上的高手--写道，开尔文是他遇到过的最"理解力强、洞察事理、思想活跃"的人。"在他的面前，我有时候觉得自己是木头木脑的。"他不无沮丧地说。 　　这种心态是可以理解的，因为开尔文确实是维多利亚时代的超人。他1824年生于贝尔法斯特，父亲是皇家学院的数学教授，过不多久就调到格拉斯哥。开尔文证明自己是个神童，小小年纪(10岁)就考上了格拉斯哥大学。20岁出头，他已经在伦敦和巴黎的学府学习过，毕业于剑桥大学（他赢得该大学在赛艇和数学两个方面的最高奖，还抽空创建了一个音乐俱乐部），当选为彼得学院的研究员，（以英文和法文）写了10多篇关于纯粹数学和应用数学的论文。这些作品都很有创见，他不得不匿名发表，免得使他的长辈们感到难堪。他22岁回到格拉斯哥，担任自然哲学教授。在此后的53年里，他一直保有这个职位。 这篇材料你能听出多少？点击这里做听写，提高外语水平>>
